SLCene Suggests: Reggie and the Full Effect at Kilby Court

Sixteen years–that’s how long it’s been since James Dewees put out his first album under the Reggie and the Full Effect name. Yup, that’ll make you feel old. And those intervening years have been full of band fits and starts and lineup changes, as well as Dewees ongoing membership in off-and-on roots-rockers Get Up Kids, so we don’t get nearly as many Reggie and the Full Effect shows in Utah as we used once did, particularly since Dewees put the Full Effect on ice about five years ago. So, consider Deewees’ return to his often-hilarious Full Effect persona (actually, multiple personas) a treat worth checking out. He put out a new album in the fall, No Country for Old Musicians, and he’s on the road for a full-blown Reggie and the Full Effect tour this winter for the first time since 2008. Kilby Court should be rocking for this one. Dads and Pentimento open the show.
